The 10 Best Game & Entertainment Centers in Washington DC, District of Columbia (DC)
Washington DC is a hub for American politics and history. Attracting as many school field trips as it does travelers the district offers a peek into the country’s democratic origin. There are plenty of free museums to take advantage of but the real draw here is the memorials and monuments dedicated to great American leaders. Spend some contemplative time at the Reflecting Pool within the National Mall, among the most patriotic places in the country.

Great spot, really friendly crew. Lots of drink options. Fun on both floors. Practicing social distancing really well - felt very safe. Axes downstairs are a blast, feels like a cozy chalet with fires and wood and leather - the upstairs was a wonderful surprise as it felt like I was sitting on a beach!

We partner with rescues who save homeless cats and kittens at risk of euthanasia in high kill shelters, and house them in our cafes. Once they are at our locations, we care for our cats & kittens until they are adopted! Our mission is to reduce euthanasia in animal shelters, and to improve the lives of homeless cats.

It's nearly impossible to express our experience at Crumbs & Whiskers, but here's a try. I can't imagine a place more relaxing and therapeutic as the kitten lounge. The cute, adorable, playful kittens are bound to make you put all of your worries aside and make you forget the world around you exists - I almost forgot my boyfriend exists, and he was right there next to me! Special shout out to the manager in-charge of the DC cat cafe and kitten lounge, Miranda! I later came to know how helpful Miranda had been in accommodating our last minute booking, and squeeze in an extra session for my boyfriend to surprise me with. Not only that, Miranda made her way to the kitten lounge after wrapping up her day at the cat cafe to meet us. Miranda - if you are reading this, it was a pleasure meeting you and THANK YOU for making our experience at the kitten lounge one to remember! I have yet to meet another team of such dedicated, kind, and caring professionals who go above and beyond to make our furry friends feel so loved, and at home. C&W team - a huge THANK YOU for all that you do in saving our furry friends from euthanasia, sheltering them, and helping them find their forever home.

This place was my kind of vibes. We went for a date night and it was cool fun, good food, adult atmosphere with music in the background, and excellent customer service! It was everything you need in a date night. Since this place didn't have an outside, I was hesitant but we felt safe and the place was clean. A little pricey but good things come at a cost. We will be back!

Think of playing darts in a bar, but instead of darts you’ll be tossing axes at wooden targets! This trend is picking up steam and replacing your bowling and darts leagues with something different. From your guys’ night out to the perfect activity for your bestie’s bachelorette, axe throwing is something ANYONE can do and EVERYONE should try!
